Step-by-Step Instructions
To get started with my Pecan Pie Dump Cake, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Greasing the baking dish is an essential first step to ensure that the cake releases easily when done. In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. This creates a wonderfully rich and gooey base for our cake. Use a whisk to mix everything until smooth, and then fold in your chopped pecans. The smell of pecans adds such depth to this mixture! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
